Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they and their cronies either die in or retire from public office.

Option one.....you win
Option two.....you lose.

NC citizens have been lulled to apathy as they THINK that state taxes are fair...ignorance reigns supreme in THIS state.

"Hard work, perseverance and positive attitude will be rewarded. And if that doesn't work, a nice crisp $20 couldn't hurt."

At least the twenty bucks is reasonable. Seems like state govenment payoffs cost a little more than that. I don't mind the payoffs but couldn't we regulate them. If the state would follow the suggestions of these kids then the price of payoffs would come down! We are in a recession for heaven's sake! Consult these children for an appropriate amount. Show some mercy during these tough economic times.

P.S. You know of course that "hard work, perseverance and positive attitude" does not always work in politics and government. Keep a roll of those crisp $20 handy just in case.

Dogbyte, you do know that Senator Burr is our ONLY voice in the senate that voted FOR Bush's Wall Street Bailout.

Once you grow up and get adult jobs, you won't be so off hand about throwing all your tax money away to the lazy.

Goldman Sachs wasn't lazy?

On behalf of the good people we grow in small towns, up yours Yankee.

Looks like a lot of you socialists are running scared. Oh sorry, I meant liberals...naw, I am not PC so I really did mean socialists. But, in reality you are just a bunch of kids that don't know any better. Once you grow up and get adult jobs, you won't be so off hand about throwing all your tax money away to the lazy. Go ahead and back folks that will vote for a bill that murders children (abortions for you dense ones), steals from the seniors' Medicare, mandates subscribing to insurance with threats of jail time, medical services rationing, higher premiums, etc. Oh, and less we forget the death panel is back in this bill. Argue all you want kiddies, but I back up what I say with fact, when all you do is bash the workers and producers. Hang in there kids, and we will take care of you, as always.

It's a strange thing to me the Democrats are having such a hard time finding an opponent for Burr if he is so weak.

I don't see anyone of the horizon in the Democrat world that can oust him, unless he stumbles terribly.

Reality must be raising it's ugly head and if things continue, Hagan will have trouble in her future.

Just my opinion, but I believe I have a lot of company.

Please explain to me how that a poll of 711 constitutes/ citizens can in any way shape form or fashion be respresentive for any politician in this state as that there are in excess of 6.0 + million residents in this state an this in all probability doesn't even count all of the illegals in this state as that we have more of them than our fair share. i personal feel that we should through out all of the bums in congress democrats/ blue dogs an the incubmentrepublican all together an start over again from sratch thank you

Bankrun Burr 4 out of 10 like him, that means 6 out of 10 don't or dont bother with politics at all. Bankrun Burr is a patsy for the US Chamber of Commerce (Big business lobby) Americans for Prosperity, and numerous other groups that advocate keeping wages low, keeping the status quo on healthcare, the disolution of Social Security in favor of a private system (Did the stock market crash last year not give a clue as to how that endeavour would end?) sending jobs overseas, removal of wording from existing laws that prohibit the importation of anything made with child labor or convict labor. Yet the party of No is the american familiy party> I think Not!A working person voting Republican is ignorant or just plain stupid.

40 percent of North Carolinians approve of the job Burr is doing

Take THAT Bush/Rove that recruited him. He's twice as popular as you in a state that went Obama.

HA! This thing is over. Only 6 out of ten North Carolinians either hate his guts or never heard of him. That's spelled 'success' for the GOP these days.

Re: Paul Shumaker says economy getting worse; Vote Burr again!

GiggleBox — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:55:45 -0400

Was this the guy that sent Burr to take credit for that new Obama Stimulus fire station Burr voted against?

Paul Shumaker? Is that his name? He started Carolina Strategy Group, right?

How's that going? About like Burr's campaign?
